Are You in Constant Change Mode?

I enjoy Pinterest and facebook, like most folks. Lately I've noticed that a Huge focus is on ways to change ourselves. Don't get me wrong, I am constantly on the lookout for the next best thing, but I think we may be hopping on the wrong bandstand by wanting to continuously change ourselves. As if we are doing something wrong in how we are living our lives, right now. Guilty feelings if we don't measure up to the latest, best thing.Changes I have recently made in my life include:

Looking at this list makes me realize how much I've attempted to accomplish in a very short time. It's no wonder I feel pulled in a hundred different directions. Because I have taken on so much, I don't feel like I'm able to give 100% to everything. I'll admit I do enjoy keeping busy, but I have to find a way to allow my life to stay unchanged for a bit so that I can complete, with focus on the changes I have already set in motion.Re-inventing yourself is a way to challenge who you are at the moment, which can be empowering. But what if the changes are too many and too often? Are you losing your true self in the process? How often do you have to change something in your life to fit in, or be on trend. And should you?

I totally understand. Fortunately, I have been able to continue working in my career choice. My Love, on the other hand has had to re-think his employment. We have started a wood flooring installation business that it going nicely right now. With the holidays coming things will slow down, but we are thankful for all that we have.
